Ingredients For These Oat Rolls.
You can use quick or regular yeast. This is what makes the rolls rise
Sage & Rosemary give these rolls a festive flavor and add some texture along with the cranberries.
Applesauce. This helps to cut out some of the fat content that is typically in dinner rolls. It keeps the dough moist in the baking process.
Quaker Old Fashioned Oats. This adds fiber, and hearty flavors to these rolls. It also makes them look even tastier with the sprinkle of oats baked into the top.
How To Make These Oat Rolls.
Step 1: Start with dissolving the yeast in warm water with a tiny pinch of white sugar. You will need to let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will create a foamy fuzzy top over it. If you don’t have this effect use a fresh package of yeast. You will then warm almond milk in a saucepan or microwave just enough to bring it to a simmer. You will pour the milk over the butter to melt it. Then add in brown coconut sugar, oats, honey, salt and blend together well.
You will then add in the other components to form a dough. Add egg, yeast, rosemary, sage, chopped cranberries and slowly add the flour in last. You will want the mixture to be sticky. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes before putting in greased saran wrap and refrigerating for 3 hour or overnight!
Step 2: After the dough has refrigerated, it will rise a little.,p
Step 3: Cut it into an even 12 -14 pieces. Form into the shape of rectangles, fold all the corners under to make a little ball shape.
Step 4: Spray a 9-inch round pan and stuff the dough rolls together so they are all tightly packed into the pan.
Step 5 & 6 Sprinkle with oats over the tops of the rolls. Let the rolls rest for about 2 hours, they will double in size at room temp. Turn the oven on 350 and back for about 30 – 35 minutes. Once they are out brush with butter or the top and enjoy!

Resting The Dough For Hours
- After resting, add the dough to a greased bowl, coat the dough in the grease to prevent it from sticking to the plastic saran wrap. wrap it into the plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Note: the dough will not rise too much ~ majority of the rising will be when it is sitting room temp.
After Resting The Dough - Day Of Baking
- After it's been chilled, fold it with fingers on a floured work surface. Cut the dough into 12-14 equal pieces/balls. Try to form it into a rectangular shape and curl the corners under. Place into a greased 9 inch round pan. All the dough will be touching in the pan. Let it rest somewhere warm for 2 hours.
